Highlights of our HIGH School program include…
St. John’s Lutheran School is known for providing a quality education in a caring, Christian environment. Now St. John’s is applying our mission to the high school level, expanding our offerings, yet maintaining the same commitment to our students and their families.
Our Facility
A 37,000 square foot facility that will serve grades 4-12 will be open for the 2024-2025 school year. This facility will include 5 high school general classrooms plus a high school science lab, art room, music room, gymnasium, high school locker rooms, and offices. The building can serve approximately 150 high school students. Future expansion will accommodate further growth.
Our Teachers
St. John’s Lutheran School employs certified teachers and will add full-time and part-time teachers as enrollment requires. Some teachers will teach middle school and high school classes while other teachers will be solely focused on high school.
Christian Environment
St. John’s Lutheran High School will be a traditional high school encompassed in a Christian setting.
This means that all of the experiences familiar to high school students will be available to
students at St. John’s.
Our Curriculum
The curriculum will focus on the core subjects of English, math, science, social studies and Christian studies, but classes will be offered in various electives, the number of which will increase as the school grows. St. John’s will use the Genesis Virtual Academy to supplement class offerings. St. John’s students will be able to participate in Health OC and ClassE. Curriculum will focus on preparing students for life after high school, recognizing that all students will be encouraged to seek further education of some sort beyond high school. Applicable life lessons are a priority of the curriculum.
Extra Curricular
Extra-curricular activities will be offered immediately, including Student Council (Student Leadership Team),NHS, FFA, Chem Club, Photography Club, Art Club and more to come! These will be designed based on student interest.
Athletics
Archery, cross country, girls volleyball and tparticipation in individual sports such as track, golf and tennis coming soon!
Experiences
Experiences such as dances, proms, special outings, etc. will be a part of the St. John’s Lutheran High School experience. Our smaller size will also allow for some unique academic and social experiences off campus.
We have an eight-period school day, with one of those classes being Christian Studies.

each 9th grader will receive a new Chromebook. Some textbooks and resources will be on the Chromebooks but most classes will use traditional textbooks.
